8:02 pm
a complete political overhaul more than 400 people have been killed by security forces since those demonstrations began back in october. hear more now from our correspondent simona fulton he's in baghdad it was not clear at all whether the parliament needed to vote on his resignation and all because it's not something that is mandated by the constitution but it appears that parliament convened and discussed the resignation there was no actual vote the speaker of the parliament simply asked the members of parliament who had attended the session whether there was any objection to other of those not his resignation and with that his resignation was then accepted now the constitution actually says that if the prime minister's office becomes vacant for any reason whatsoever to be the president who takes over but other of the matter is staying on as a caretaker government which is something that usually only happens when there is
8:03 pm
a vote of no confidence now in terms of what happens next to the largest political bloc in parliament is supposed to choose a replacement within the next 15 days that largest bloc is led by shiite cleric looked at a souter and his bloc actually gave a press conference following the parliamentary session saying that the people should not consider them as the largest bloc at the in fact want to appoint a person that is chosen by the people which is a very strange statement that basically they're abdicating their constitutional responsibility as the largest party and it's also out unclear how exactly the people will choose a replacement without fresh election for the success succession of either loved or not he remains very vague at the moment more with a line drawn on the idol of the most these 10 year can't you look at what he and takes a look back at a short time as prime minister. a victory for anti-government protesters after months of violent clashes jim of the markets said he had no other
8:04 pm
choice but to resign mr bracks prime minister. in that my resignation was essential to defuse the crisis and calm the situation in the country and i hope parliament chooses a quick alternative because the situation in iraq can't handle a kid like a government for long as i his resignation has done little to calm anger protest over a high unemployment rate and a lack of basic services continue even after he announced he would go. critics say the former prime minister is just one of several high ranking officials who must step down. at 1st mark he refused to resign saying it would only add to the country's instability amid the crisis hundreds of demonstrators have been killed in clashes with security forces thousands more have been injured demands for marty's resignation only move out or. he became prime minister in october 28th seen at
8:05 pm
a time of unrest in the country his government promised to make things better but said it needed more time time however was a luxury iraqi politics now moves into unchartered territory the resignation of the prime minister that automatically means the resignation of the entire cabinet. this is the 1st time that this happens in iraq so the legal ways forward not necessarily clear but one way or another that has to be a new the president has to give mandate to a new person or a new bloc in parliament to form a new government. it took a delap to mark the more than 8 months to appoint his cabinet in 20 team with some accusing him of not cracking down on corruption fast enough in a country fractured by decades of war his supporters say changing the system was a process that could not be rushed oh. now iraq will begin a new era with a new leader. this is the young al jazeera. iraq's
8:06 pm
political system relies on broad cross that tarion and ethnic coalitions is to launch as parties are shia both of whom are allies with smaller kurdish and sunni factions the reformist blog led by popular shia cleric mokhtar of souther has the most seats in parliament and had. been a party which includes the popular mobilisation forces went to close ties to iran as a lab he was appointed prime minister in october last year this was after a summer of antique of mint protests and the go see asians between live in parties but it depended on the support of the 2 main parties and struggled for months to form ministries where soccer chances in iraq a member of parliament he says the difficulty now is finding a candidates that everyone can agree on. this is exactly the question and the pile of on that also is among the political parties who would be the replacement not
8:07 pm
a normal replacement prospect that be accepted by the street by the protesters so there is no single political party that can form the majority in the iraqi parliament that can ask the president of iraq or send them the names of the candidates there is a common understanding in the parliament that no former politicians or the head of the political parties or those who were accused of corruption or even those who were part of the system after 2003 should not be considered as a replacement for their prime minister should be a fresh and somebody new that's that's the difficult question is how can you bring that how can you. bring the all of the political parties together to agree on one single candidate the only advantage is now we have compared to the previous. terms when we nominated or voted for a new pm or a new government was that there was no snow where pressure from the street this
8:08 pm
time i don't think we have enough time and i don't think the street will accept the further delay. a soldier and his wife in the democratic republic of congo have been killed by an angry crowds they were mistaken the kings of being rebels and what happens in the eastern town of beni in north kivu province the kurds attacked the offending guns and bullets in their bags they were suspects is it being members of the allied democratic forces a rebel group which is blamed for killing more than $100.00 civilians in the past month catherine soy has more now from goma. it was found out that this man was a sergeant in the army and he was going to work in need to which is a neighboring province he was accompanied by his wife was also stoned to death and their child who is safe and what happened is that they were boarding a taxi to take them to this area but the taxi moment was very uncomfortable because
8:09 pm
we're asking to go to places where killings have happened places where people are fleeing in fear and when they were father interrogated people are saying they did not have answers that were clear that they did not have ideas as well when their bags was searched there was military fatigue bullets medical kits as well and so on and so they were stoned to death now what people have done people of benny have done since that time is saying that they were they're going to take charge of their own security so they've set up this checkpoints in some parts and there are people who are coming into the city and via calls particularly those who are coming from areas where these killings have been happening they're saying that they do not trust security forces enough to do this and to take care of their safety is also an ongoing offensive with the military and the u.n. against a.d.f. in the forest we spoke to the spokesman about that as well he said that they're
8:10 pm
making advances they have been able to take several bases from the a.d.f. rebels they've also been able to kill one of the top provoke commanders but people are still frustrated they're saying why is it that even with the ongoing operation a rebel fighters are able to come back to the villages and kill them. now the focus is shifting in the u.k. general election campaign to deal with people convicted of terrorist offenses this comes after friday's attack in central london prime minister boris johnson has blamed previous labor governments for very recent ones in an interview with the b.b.c. he's promising to bring in tougher. if he wins the election later this month. i think this whole system of automatic early release which was brought in by labor it was under and it was under that system as a change it was an issue that says i've only been in office probably projects so i and i think you are one of the surgeons worry that wearing body has been one of the reasons we're having this election is because we have
8:11 pm
a queen's speech that was blocked by parliament amongst other things not least breaks it and we need to get it done so that we can move forward i think it's ridiculous i think it's repulsive that individuals as dangerous as this man should be allowed out after serving only 8 years and that's he why we are going to change the law the opposition leader jeremy corbyn has also raised and he told sky news those convicted of terrorist offenses should not be forced to serve a full sentence i think it depends on the circumstances it depends on the sentence but crucially depends on what they've done in the not necessarily again not not necessarily you know i think there has to be an examination of how our prison service is work and crucially what happens someone released from prison because. i need to know whether or not the parole board were involved in his release apparently they were not they made that statement quite quickly still to come on

8:21 pm
popular with all of the country's 36 original peoples but for those like under him things definitely improved she got a pension and a government program which helped her learn spanish in her seventy's. before politicians just made money for themselves there were no schools or government housing those with evil we had all of us gave it to us. now he's gone and those in her town. where most of from the i model group are worried about what comes next we're alice is government help build a high school astroturf pitch and houses here. but for a total just as important was a newfound acceptance in society and this is obviously much work before you can get into the armed forces the police if you had dark skin or just an indigenous name we had to change our names after 13 years of even more alice our children could get jobs with their own names. even in national politics it's become common to see
8:22 pm
something previously unheard of indigenous congresswoman wearing paul years traditional skirts the administration which replaced morale is to set a different tone there's been criticism that the interim administration lacks indigenous participation and instead that the top jobs have gone from members of the country's traditional elite on top of that there's been accusations that the interim president herself jimmy. and years has in the past sent tweets with racial undertones. but some groups russo glad to see change outraged by moralists his brutal crackdown on indigenous protest over a motorway in 2011. and then he's slow response to forest fires which burned through indigenous territories this year. back in the heart the restaurant owner you all are also says support here is conditional on political allegiance but it
8:23 pm
how it's because they can't help today those who are from the party but those who don't belong to it don't get anything. 6 but few dispute the overall they were important games for indigenous people and the evermore alleys the question is if those will remain a priority when a new permanent government is elected. john homan how does it or what the hotter. several countries across latin america are expected to hold a symbol to the noisy protests this sunday and all the different currents are coming together for a variety of reasons in him an experience from santiago they all share something in common. this is the unmistakable sound of the protests. a very special kind of protest. and a very noisy one at that. the crash of the last will require support. for a pan and something to strike if we. all keep doing this until the politicians
8:24 pm
understand that inequality in chile is unacceptable no him again and it doesn't matter how long it takes i still have plenty of pans left. banging pots and pans became famous in chile in 1981 when opponents of the left wing government of president day came out to protest food shortages and rationing it was associated with the center and right wing opposition sociologist manuel until you got it done remembers it well. the costs are lost so were part of the best organized protests that would lead to the military overthrow if i ended the idea was to attribute it to civil society and women in the name of protecting their families and children the irony is that 12 years later the 1st major protest against the dictatorship brought the pots and pans back in the middle of an acute economic crisis characterized by hunger especially in the poor. many assume that chile was the
8:25 pm
birthplace of the castle. the practice of the banks. in france. the 1st. appeared in algeria the so-called. later words. there they had read over. actually america back. in europe and. one of the virtues of this form of protest is that you can do it day or night on the street or from your home where presumably there's less risk of being arrested especially when there's a curfew. depending on how widespread and noisy the castle last all one can gauge the degree of support for a given protest. in venezuela for example the pots and pans come out every time there's a blackout or just a protest against president nicolas maduro. but the practice transcends all
8:26 pm
ideologies it's simply the best way many people feel they have to make themselves heard you see in human al-jazeera sente i will. quote some of those northern pets in region as homes in the largest tropical forest north of the amazon but as more people settle in the area poaching and other threats by the varsity are on the wrongs a group of scientists is working to save a number of species said mercer has more from. 30 meters above the forest floor in northern guatemala biologist ronnie garcia's team works hard to try to save an iconic animal scarlet mccollister endangered here there's only a few 100 left in forests habitat loss and wildlife trafficking have decimated their population. they would term a coccyx in the midst here but when we came back to check on them they would gone

here to the only animal clinic and wildlife rehabilitation center of its kind in guatemala. today wildlife police bring a rescued owl to the arcus clinic veterinarians our hands and fernando martinez 1st check for bullet wounds then give the owl antibiotics after quarantine in rehabilitation they hope to release the owl back into the wild it's a strategy central to our casus success and one that gives hope to the staff and volunteers caring for more than 600 animals from nearly 60 different. species we're trying very hard to put out our message that say no to illegal wildlife trade don't hurt animals keep them alive in the wild and it's taking a bit of time i think the challenge for us is to be able to educate enough people so that our job is not needed the legal trade in wildlife is thought to be worth at least $19000000000.00 a year stopping local species from going extinct would likely keep water malas

8:31 pm
simona fault and has more from baghdad choosing the prime minister is typically something that happens through murky backroom dealings not a process that is transparent to the public at all but it's very much a process that has to get the support from all of the political blocs not just the largest one in parliament from all the different thick parian groups and also from a regional as of global power especially iran and the united states. a soldier and his wife in the democratic republic of congo have been killed by an angry crowds they were mistakenly kings of being rebels this happened in the eastern time of benny in north kivu province they were suspect of being members of the allied democratic forces a rebel group which is blamed for killing more than $100.00 civilians in the past month the u.n. peacekeeping chief visited ben a where there have been protests against un troops to go but if it isn't the message is that you should make the wrong enemies we are on the side of the people
